Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
• 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup
• 4 cups brewed black tea, cooled
• 1 cup cold water
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
• Lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine fresh blueberries and honey. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the pulp. Enjoy the pop of sweet, fruity aroma as you pour.
2. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher. The tangy aroma of freshly squeezed citrus juice will be irresistible.
3. Pour the cooled brewed black tea and cold water into the pitcher, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
4. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the blueberry lemon tea over the ice. Watch how the vibrant colors mix beautifully, tantalizing your taste buds.
5. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon to add a splash of color and extra zest. Enjoy the refreshing burst of flavor in every sip!

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If blueberries are not in season, frozen blueberries work just as well. Simply thaw them before blending.
• Replace honey with agave syrup for a different hint of sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the tangy lemon.
• Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience, or add a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy twist.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover blueberry lemon tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving again. If you have dietary needs or ingredient availability issues, consider using maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly option. For a caffeine-free version, substitute black tea with herbal tea like chamomile or rooibos.
